we switched to the ribbon ties long ago, you must have seen a very early model. i pull a bunch of cord through the cordlock which cinches it mainly on that side, but then you just grab the bunched fabric and pull on it a little which it evens out the cinch across the whole width, it's pretty easy.

i find it's easier to tie the neck ribbons and do most of the cinching and THEN pop my head through the head hole, then usually just a small adjustment to the cordlock to get the tension just right around my neck

Sorry for the extremely late reply but if your still wondering I ended up getting the 20° HG Burrow with the snap end box. I used it during the winter up in the great smokey mountains where temps got below freezing and it kept me very warm. Only problem is sometimes I could feel a draft from the small hole at the end since it was not sewn. Small price to pay for such better versatility.
